The issue does not go away...More are getting hurt by "legal highs"
What is happening is that "legal highs" are being manufactured - these are chemicals that are not illegal - and are sold on the internet - people still buy them and more people get ill and die. Now if the drugs that we all know like Cannabis, cocaine, ecstacy etc were not illegal then these new "legal highs" would not have a market and there would be less deaths.

Drugs tsar warning on 'legal highs'

Britain is being swamped by a "potentially dangerous" influx of so-called legal highs, the Government's drugs tsar has warned.
Professor Les Iversen, chairman of the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD), said he and his colleagues can not keep tabs on all the substances available as there are now around 200 such chemicals flooding the market.
Mr Iversen told a public hearing that dealers are dodging laws by dressing the drugs up as plant food and warned that overdose risks were "clearly immense".
And he said the ACMD, which reviews substances and advises whether measures should be taken for preventing misuse, would be focusing on a man-made amphetamine called Benzo Fury and new LSD-like chemicals.
Mr Iversen said: "This has become a high priority agenda item for the ACMD and will continue to be so for the foreseeable future as the new compounds continue to emerge. The European Monitoring Centre logged in 60 new compounds last year and there's been a similar rate this year. That's one a week.
